THE price of fuel has recently shot up - which is unsurprising but not exactly great timing considering many people will no longer be working from home soon.

Government data shows the average prices of petrol and diesel have gone up 10 per cent and 8.7 per cent respectively since the start of lockdown in March 2020 - an above-inflation rise that will make driving to work much more expensive.

Luckily, there are a number of places in Warrington where you can get fuel for below the national average price per litre which currently 131.7p for petrol and 134.13p for diesel.
